Optimize Paleo by Paleovalley

According to a 2018 Cigna survey HALF of Americans feel alone, isolated or left out at least some of the time.

Even more disturbing is the fact that, recent research has revealed social stress is a more powerful predictor of mortality than...

Physical inactivity Having 6 drinks a day Smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Which is why this week’s podcast is all about the power of community, the detriments of loneliness and the incredible power of functional medicine with best selling author and founder of the Functional Forum, James Maskell.

Here are some of the fascinating topics we cover...

• How functional medicine differs than other types of medicine
• How we know functional medicine is more effective
• The 3 underlying principles of functional medicine
• Why loneliness is the BIGGEST driver of poor health outcomes
• How to improve your social ties and build community
• How to leverage the power of community on your health journey
• Why it takes 17 years for research to influence medical policy
• How to find practitioners using functional medicine and community
• How he feels about growing up in a commune
• His New Year’s Resolution
• And so much more!

Many of us have set New Year’s resolutions to eat better and workout more in the New Year, but what I hope this podcast inspires you to do is also make finding community a priority, too.

I know what James has to say will surprise and inspire you, so have a listen and share this important information with anyone you think will benefit.

Did you know that, as a woman, your cholesterol and blood sugar levels will be higher at certain times of your menstrual cycle?

Which can not only affect how you feel and what you should eat, but may also affect whether or not you’re prescribed medication.

Women are also stronger, smarter and calmer during certain periods of the cycle, and should eat more carbs and avoid fasting at other times.

Sadly, because most health-based research has been based on men, most women never understand these important nuances.

Which is why in today’s podcast with bestselling author, keynote speaker, nutrition and functional health and fasting expert, Dr. Mindy Pelz, we talk all about why women MUST approach their health differently and how to customize your diet and lifestyle to leverage your hormone-centric advantages. Here are some of the fascinating takeaways:

• How cholesterol levels change during your cycle
• Why glucose levels are higher at certain times in your cycle
• Is higher cholesterol dangerous for women?
• A little-known underlying cause of high cholesterol in women
• The negative impact of statins on the brain
• What women MUST know to fully understand their health
• When you are the strongest and most capable during your cycle
• When to eat more carbs during your cycle
• The hormone that protects your brain
• What to eat at different parts of your cycle
• What a hormone feast is and how to do it
• When you should always avoid alcohol
• The 4 components of a fasting lifestyle
• When to do a carnivore diet and when to eat more veggies
• When to use the sauna, red light and cold therapy during your cycle
• Hyperbaric oxygen and its utility for healing hormones
• And so much more!

Do not miss this conversation if you are (or love) a woman or are the parent of a young woman. It is a truly POWERFUL conversation that will forever change your approach to women’s health.
